To the southeast of Pyongyang, there is the same big river named Nanjiang. It is the largest tributary of the Taedong River and has abundant water.
At the same time as the naval battle of Hailing Island took place, the Zhou army's cavalry fought and retreated, slowly leading the Goryeo army to the Nanjiang River.
The Goryeo army is said to be 300,000 strong. Although this is a bit exaggerated, there are still more than 100,000 civilians involved.
This is basically one-tenth of the population of the entire peninsula. It can be seen that the mobilization was so powerful that it almost turned out to be overwhelming.
The march of hundreds of thousands of people is also a very troublesome matter, and it is very difficult to coordinate and coordinate the movement forward and backward.
Therefore, after the Zhou army sent cavalry and the Korean cavalry fought continuously for more than ten days, the Korean army completed a journey of less than a hundred miles and slowly arrived at the lower village of Mercy Ridge in the northeast of Nanjiang River.
"Your Majesty, I've suppressed someone so much. When will I be able to charge hard and kill him?" As the last batch of prairie cavalry to return, Qianhu Ruge's first words when he saw Murong Nobunaga were:
His most intuitive feeling.
I am really depressed these days, because the combat effectiveness of the Goryeo cavalry cannot be said to be low, it can only be said to be so low that Zilug has never seen before.
King Murong did not allow them to scare away the enemy with a fierce beating, so he had no choice but to deliberately not wear armor and keep his hands open to fight the Goryeo cavalry back and forth.
This is not fighting, this is acting.
"Hahahaha!" Murong Nobunaga threw a small leather bag containing wine to Ziruge, laughed a few times and said, "I know you are feeling uncomfortable holding it in. Let's settle down for a few days to ensure that you have a chance to play."
After saying that, Murong Nobunaga took Riluge's hand and walked closer to the military meeting tent. All the officers above the Marquis of Duyu and above had already gathered in the tent.
Murong Nobunaga asked Riruge to sit down not far from his head, and then said: "I got the exact message. Wang Zhao has indeed ordered the army and horses of the whole country, and it is estimated that there will be about 80,000 cavalry."
As soon as this statement came out, the generals below couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Judging from the previous news, during the Three Kingdoms war in this land east of the sea, the total number of troops and horses dispatched by both parties was only about 50,000, but now 80,000 were dispatched at once.
Wang Jing was more cautious than the others and said in a low voice: "If the information is correct and counting the husbands, the Korean people draw one out of ten. Calculated in terms of drawing, it is at least one out of four. Almost every household
One person is out.
We haven't conquered Pyongyang yet, so Wang Zhao is not a fool, so why would he be so desperate?
Doesn’t he know that once the army is defeated, the small foundation of Goryeo will suddenly collapse?”
This is indeed magical. Could it be that Wang Zhao thinks he can destroy powerful enemies with just a snap of his fingers? The more he thinks about it, the more unreasonable he feels?
All the soldiers thought about it for a long time but still couldn't think it through. Or a fool like Murong Yanchao came directly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are we thinking so much?
No matter what, the Goryeo Kingdom has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, wouldn’t it be enough to annihilate them all by the Nanjiang River?”
Murong Nobunaga was right. In the face of absolute strength, any small tricks are in vain. No matter what Wang Zhao's plan is, what he needs to consider is to kill all his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then the problem will be solved.
Already.
Thinking of this, Murong Nobunaga stretched out his hand and pointed at the military stronghold built by the Nanjiang River, "Prince, I am going to personally lead the troops to attack Pyongyang City. It is up to you to hold on to the Nanjiang River."
Wang Jing quickly stepped out of the queue and crossed his arms to answer. He knew Murong Nobunaga's strategy. Now that the Koreans had been attracted here, there was no need to keep Pyongyang City. He must first attack Pyongyang City to solve his worries.
of.
At the same time, the army's military camp by the Nanjiang River happened to be stuck at the widest and shallowest part of the Nanjiang River suitable for crossing.
As soon as the attack on Pyongyang begins, the Koryo army will definitely attack the military stronghold immediately in order to seize this crossing point and rescue the city of Pyongyang.
"Zhao Siwan!" Murong Xin shouted, and Zhao Siwan, who was wearing a helmet and armor, quickly knelt down on one knee to respond.
"You, a thief, should know that if the Prince Consort hadn't been thinking about his twenty-year relationship with your brother, you would have gone to the Eighteenth Level of Hell and suffered the pain of being fried."
If Zhao Siwan didn't have any feelings for Zhao Kuangzan, who had been inseparable since childhood, after being together for twenty years, it would be false, especially after Zhao Kuangzan spared his life after he made a big mistake.
"The servant is able to survive so far because of the magnanimity of the Prince Consort. The king took him in regardless of past suspicions. The guilty person has no words to say and only wishes to die."
"Well, lead your thousand elite beggars and stay with the prince to guard Nanjiang. If Nanjiang falls, I will kill you all."
Zhao Siwan chuckled, but the smile on his face was a bit catchy, "If the fortress is really captured by the Koreans, my servants will definitely kill everyone on the left and right before fighting to the death, without the king taking action."
Murong Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction, and then summoned Qianhu Tuoheida, the beggar of Mier, and said, "I heard that Mier's beggar archers are the only ones in Mobei. Don't let me down."
Tuoheida quickly bowed to the ground and said, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is here, Mierqi will definitely kill all the enemies of the king."
....
Wang Zhao actually has no plan at all, because on the peninsula today, only the west side close to the Central Plains can support a large population. The total length from north to south is only about a thousand miles. It is very convenient to recruit. It sounds exaggerated, but in fact
Not that scary.
And because the terrain is such a strange thing, with both long and narrow sides, once a war breaks out, you have to use all your strength, otherwise Pyongyang will be gone and there will be no way to defend the capital.
Unless Wang Zhao is willing to go to the mountains to be a monkey, or go to the island to be a water monkey, and wait until the enemy retreats and then comes back.
No! Given the current political situation in Wang's Korea, if Wang Zhao dared to retreat to the mountains, forests and islands controlled by wealthy families, he would most likely be murdered directly.
Therefore, it is better to bring all the available soldiers in the country with you.
If you can win, then you can take advantage of the great victory and let various wealthy families in Pyongyang city pay for their immigration and immigrate to the border, further weakening their strength.
If you can't defeat them, you can consume all the private soldiers of the wealthy families here. After that, whether you return to the mountains and forests or go to the east coast to hold on, you can at least ensure that they are not completely suppressed by the local wealthy families.
However, there was one thing that Wang Zhao did not consider, or did not dare to think deeply about, and that was what if the entire army was wiped out?
....
The military camp by the Nanjiang River was actually very crudely built. Apart from simply keeping the horses away, the terrain was not even chosen to be in a favorable location closer to the hillside, and the camp was only camped a few hundred steps away from the river.
Under Wang Jing's command, he controlled the entire Forbidden Army in Andong Town and a battalion in Hepingdong Town, with a total of about 4,000 men. Zhao Siwan's group of beggars had more than 1,000 men, and 900 Mier beggar long archers who had taken off their hats.
The number of people was small, about 6,000, and Wang Jing's formation was even more bold. The heavy armored infantry of Anton Town only consisted of 500 people in a small square formation, two in front and three in back, forming a formation against the military stronghold.
Behind the formation in Andong Town, the long-bowmen of Mierqi formed two long horizontal rows, and a thousand fine cavalry from Pingdong Town were guarding them on the left and right.
The remaining one thousand beggars, wearing half-body chainmail and holding various weapons useful for close combat, were waiting at the gate of the village like mad dogs waiting for their master's orders.
After the Goryeo army set up camp, Wang Zhao personally led the troops to take a look. His nose was so angry that he was so damn insulting!
I personally led an army of 300,000 people here, and you 5,000 people are arrayed on the Great Plains. What do you think I am bringing with me? 300,000 pigs?
In the distance, thick smoke was burning at the top of Pyongyang City, and the shouts of killing seemed to be faintly heard, obviously calling for help.
Because Murong Nobunaga increased the strength of these Pyongyang defenders who underestimated the Zhou army's combat effectiveness, he directly let the infantry in Pingdong Town wear heavy armor and attack fiercely.
Goryeo General Jiang Gongzhen rode up to Wang Zhao. As a veteran with more than thirty years of fighting, he felt something was wrong.
It seemed as if he was being led by the enemy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Your Majesty, hurry up and defeat the Beikou on the Nanjiang River and cross the river for a decisive battle. No matter what, we must reach the outside of Pyongyang before Xijing is captured."
Wang Zhao nodded, and just as he was about to order Jiang Gongzhen to supervise the attack, Yu Jing, the forward troop envoy, said loudly: "I am willing to lead my 15,000 horse infantry troops into the battle. I only need the king to send 2,000 Forbidden Army archers to assist."
The Yu family is the top wealthy family in Goryeo, with hundreds of people in the martial arts class under their control. Yu Jing is a general with a good reputation in the country. He is willing to go into battle, which is undoubtedly the most suitable. Wang Zhao immediately dialed the number
Two thousand imperial archers were given to Yu Jing.
Goryeo's Forbidden Army Archer Force is an elite force established during the Wang Jian period. It is composed of people from various prefectures and counties who are good at shooting.
Yu Jing's father, the founding general of Goryeo, Yu Qianbi, was famous for his good shooting, so most of the martial arts classes and tribes controlled by the Yu family were also famous for their good shooting.
Yu Jing mixed his own archers with the archers of the Forbidden Army, and gathered a total of 7,000 people. In the eyes of this second-generation general, the number of archers alone was multiples of all the Beikou soldiers. The sky was filled with arrows.
In the past, it was not allowed to collapse directly.
Liu Yibao held a short bow and walked forward side by side with his fellow villagers around him, listening to the sound of drums.
Pingzhou, where their hometown is located, belongs to the Yu family. In Pingzhou, the Yu family is the sky above their heads.
So even during the busy farming season, when the Yu family gave an order, they could only leave the farm work to their elderly parents, grab their own weapons, and eat the pancakes handed out by the Yu family mixed with a large amount of wild vegetables and even sand.
Pyongyang, a hundred miles away, fought tooth and nail with the Northern invaders.
The reason why Liu Yibao got such a strange name is because his family was too poor when he was born, and they didn’t even have the cloth to make a baby clothes for him. His uncle tore a large piece of his own clothes and used this piece
He was wrapped in cloth and finally made a piece of clothing for him.
Thinking of his name, Liu Yibao cast his eyes on the boy in the row in front who was still wiping tears. He was his uncle's son and his cousin.
As for why his cousin wiped away his tears, Liu Yibao knew the reason very well. His uncle had lost his sight for some reason a few years ago. The family spent all their money to treat him several times but couldn't cure it. His life became a problem. Just like
Forget about farming.
Now that my cousin has left, there is no one in the family. Although there are some villagers who can help, all the men in the village have been drafted and only the old and the weak are left. How much can they help?
Liu Yibao's heart was heavy, and he twitched his nose twice. He wondered if his family's fields would be deserted and his uncle would be gone when he went back after fighting the Bei bandits.
In the midst of random thoughts, a drum suddenly sounded, and military orders came one after another from the front. At this time, everyone became panicked, because this sound was familiar to them, it was the drum sound of starting a war.
Yu Dongge wore a fine pair of armor and walked in front holding a strong bow made of beef tendon.
He is a distant branch of the Yu family in Pingzhou. He has qualified for a martial arts class and was selected as a minor official in the Pingzhou Treasury Guards. He owns 300 acres of land in the countryside and rents from two or three nearby villages.
He collected it on behalf of the Yu family.
Even though he was a small official, he had a lot of power, especially the task of collecting tenant rent, which gave Yu Dongge the power to control his own affairs.
Anyway, what the Yu family wants is the total amount. As for who pays more and who pays less, that’s all up to him.
In the countryside, this is no different from having the power of life and death. If you want to pay less rent, the hunter who kills wild animals must offer the fattest meat to him, and whoever catches fish must offer the biggest one.
Even if someone's young mother-in-law or daughter-in-law is good-looking, it is common for her to come and stay with her for a few nights.
With such great benefits, Yu Dongge was extremely loyal to the person who gave him power. He put on this armor and picked up a strong bow. He swore in his heart that he would kill all the Northern invaders who disturbed his good life.
There was a clang of the gong, and the captain on the left cursed loudly, asking everyone to speed up and move forward.
This is because before reaching the shooting distance, some people began to slow down their steps, causing a group of people to walk more than 20 steps, but actually only walked the usual ten steps.
"How can you be so afraid of death? Have you forgotten who gave you white rice to eat?"
Yu Dongge was furious. Following the captain's scolding, he also roared and increased his stride, so that he went up a lot in one go.
But some people around felt that Yu Dongge was right. How could he be greedy for life and afraid of death when fighting against the Northern invaders? So they all followed Yu Dongge's footsteps.
But after all, everyone has their own ideas. Some followed the big steps, and some were pretending, taking two big steps, and then changed to small steps when no one was paying attention. Some were silent and still took small steps.
Wang Jinghaha smiled at his son Wang Tingyi beside him, because with Yu Dongge's big step, the originally relatively complete Goryeo military formation immediately began to twist and turn.
"Let those beggar archers go out to fight, and give these Koreans some appetizers first."
After Tuoheida received the military order, he was the first to step forward. He took one step and beat the drum, and then the other beggars took one step, looking very serious.
The long bows in their hands are also different from the hard bows in Han Dynasty. The bow body is longer and the arrows are long and heavy.
"The warriors of Milqi, the time has come to take back the glory from the battlefield." Tuohei Da knew very well that in order for the tribe to gain respect and survive on a better territory, the only way is to fight to the death.
As he shouted, hundreds of Mierqi big bows shot out equally huge arrows.
"There are still more than a hundred steps, what can you shoot!"
Yu Dongge smiled contemptuously, these northern invaders are so stupid. Don't they know they have iron armor on them? From such a long distance, the arrows fired at them pose no threat at all.
But immediately, he felt something was wrong. There was a scream in his ears, and an arrow that was at least three feet long fell from the sky and was directly inserted into the chest of the team member who was still scolding just now.
Du Zheng was also wearing a 'fine' armor like him, but even so, the arrow actually penetrated directly through the armor on Du Zheng's chest. Half of the thick arrow shaft looked like it had just grown out of Du Zheng's chest.
Same.
Que Zheng had been shot to the ground. He opened his big mouth with yellow teeth soaked in blood, and screamed miserably at Yu Dongge. The armor leaves on his chest were completely deformed.
This. Is this falling from the sky an arrow or a spear?
Yu Dongge was almost frightened. He looked at the long arrow shafts on the chests of the team members and suddenly felt a chill for no reason.
Poof, there was another sound of arrows piercing flesh, and from the corner of Yu Dongge's right eye, a pair of big black feet covered with mud suddenly flew up.
The owner of Big Black Foot was shot to the ground with all four limbs in the air, as if he had been hit by a mad bull.
"Counterattack! Run!" Someone shouted, and the Korean archers who were stunned by a long bow shot seemed to suddenly wake up and began to run forward.
But at this moment, with a swish sound, Wang Tingyi raised his hand, and the Anton Town Forbidden Army, which was originally in a square formation, suddenly spread out and turned into a three-row horizontal formation. The soldiers were holding lacquered wooden single crossbows.
.
The sound of the machine gun sounded like a swarm of bees leaving the nest, and the speeding crossbow arrows cut a dark silver light in the air, and then rushed towards the Korean archers.
Yu Dongge was running at the front. He just raised his hand to shoot with the bow, but suddenly he felt that his hand was a little weak. This was strange. Normally, it would be no problem even if he drew the bow ten times?
Yu Dongge felt that maybe his posture was wrong, so he took another sharp breath, but with this breath, a strong fishy smell quickly spread to his nasal cavity. This smell did not come from outside, but seemed to come from his mouth.
.
The frightened Yu Dongge lowered his head and discovered that a crossbow arrow with a very short shaft but high lethality had been inserted into his chest.
The armor he was usually proud of had no protective effect at all and was directly penetrated.
Bang! The hard bow that Yu Dongge regarded as a treasure also fell to the ground. His strong hands could no longer hold the bow. The cries and roars around him seemed to become clear in an instant.
Yu Dongge turned his head desperately, wanting to take a look at Yu Jing, the head of the Yu family, and tell him that he died in battle.
But at this moment, the huge long arrow fell from the sky again. With a pop, it passed through Yu Dongge's neck and pinned him to the ground.
Thousands of wooden crossbows and thousands of longbows, one flat shot and the other projectile, formed a perfect all-round strike surface, instantly crushing the more than a thousand armored infantry deployed by Yu Jing in the front.
But looking at the military squadrons and soldiers who usually show off their strength and show off their strength, running back like wolves, some of the conscripts like Liu Yibao let out a cry and ran faster than them.
Yu Jing was furious. Although he could see that the crossbows on the other side were sharp, he couldn't bear the thought that his team had only injured one or two hundred people before it began to collapse.
The sharp light of the swords lit up in the formation. It was not the Zhou army who was chasing and killing, but Yu Jing's personal guards who were killing people. Anyone who retreated and attacked the formation was hacked to death on the spot by his own people without any distinction.
Liu Yibao had quick eyes and quick hands. Just when he was about to hit the knife edge, he grabbed a bow passing by and pretended to retreat to both sides.
The man who had snatched the bow from his hand was pushed forward by the crowd. He was still pointing at Liu Yibao to say something, and then his head flew into the air.
Yu Jing personally rode his horse to the front row and threw the dozens of heads that had just been beheaded for retreating in front of the soldiers in front of the generals. "This is the main attack on both wings. If anyone retreats again, kill the whole family!"
Most of these people were members of the Yu family. If Yu Jing said to kill their whole family, he would definitely kill their whole family. Under this threat, the situation was stabilized immediately.
Yu Jing's plan is very simple. If you have fewer people but more crossbows, he will attack with a crane-wing formation that emphasizes both wings.
This formation is more like a crab opening two large pincers, with a human shield holding a shield in the middle. The real killing move is the elite soldiers that circle around from the two wings.
Doing this can confuse the enemy and attract the crossbows to the human shield in the middle. Even if they are not attracted, the lethality will be greatly reduced because the crossbow arrows are fired flatly in a formation and are shot at both wings of the crane wing formation.
The quality of the Korean armor was much inferior, but it also meant that their load was lighter, so Yu Jing's Crane Wing Formation deployed very quickly.
Countless Koreans wore straw sandals and ate a honey-plum rice ball. They howled one after another, showing the true specialty of their nation - running with their feet almost flying.
Wang Jing sneered and immediately sent the cavalry on both wings to attack. To deal with the infantry like the Crane Wing Formation, which relies on two wings to detour but cannot form a square formation, the best thing to use is the cavalry.
Yu Jing also touched the beard under his chin from a distance, and then waved his command flag. He had two thousand horse troops, and the opposite side had at most 500. He was waiting for the opposite horse army to dispatch, and he was just in time to counterattack.
It seems that Wang Jingqi is one step behind, but in fact, if Wang Jing only has these two brushes, he is not worthy of being the leader of the generals in Liaoyang County King Ba's Mansion, nor is he worthy of the British Princess Li personally recruiting him.
"Change the formation and let Mier beggar attack!" Wang Jing had already thought of a countermeasure, and the five hundred Andong Town crossbowmen at the outermost position quickly changed into a figure-eight formation to protect the central army.
At the same time, the beggar Jiubaimier put down his long bow, suddenly mounted his horse and held a horse bow, and became a cavalry.
This change caught Yu Jing off guard. If he ignored it, his two wings would be scattered by the nearly a thousand cavalry.
So he could only let the remaining 300 core members of the Yu family mount their horses and rush to intercept them. He could not let the Northern invaders destroy his crane wings.
However, as a result, only a few hundred infantry were left around Yu Jing. Without the protection of cavalry, the infantry might not be able to protect him in time at a critical moment.
The Korean Central Army, Liu Yibao and others were organized again, and this time they were outnumbered and protected by shields. It seemed that there were not many crossbows and longbows coming from the opposite side, which immediately boosted their already low morale.
.
This offset the advantage of the Zhou army's crossbows. After all, the Goryeo army was four times larger than Wang Jing's army. They were able to stab each other with spears and so on. Their large numbers still gave them an advantage. For a time, they were evenly matched.
Wang Jing was at the top, staring at the hourglass with one eye, watching the Koreans attacking from three sides.
The fight lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the Koreans had suffered hundreds more casualties. The front row could no longer fight, and when they were about to switch to the rear row, Wang Jing shouted:
"Zhao Siwan, it's your turn to defeat these Koreans!"
Zhao Siwan and others had been hiding inside the village gate for a long time. When he heard Wang Jing's call, he immediately jumped out, followed by his army of cannibals who were running and screaming.
The soldiers of Pingdong Town who were facing a head-on confrontation also immediately moved out of the way, allowing them, these sin-hungry mad dogs, to overwhelm the enemy.
Yu Jing already felt that he had a sure chance of victory. The Beikui troops were small and he could kill them even with a wheel battle.
But just when he signaled the front row to retreat and the back row to move forward, Zhao Siwan rushed to the front with the beggar.
Under the leadership of Zhao Siwan, they collectively let out an ear-piercing howl, and then violently threw the hatchets, hand spears, stone hammers and other throwing weapons towards the opposite side.
The short-handled axes whirled in the air, and the huge stone hammers and extremely penetrating hand spears produced great destructive power when thrown by these fierce men. In response, the Koreans fell in large numbers.
Taking advantage of this small opening, Zhao Siwan and others rushed in like a pig, and then began to kill.
The Koreans don't even have much armor or short armor, so how can they withstand the attack of beggars who wear cloth-covered iron armor and train according to the Cai thieves' method.
Even though Zhao Siwan and others only had a thousand men, they were all veterans of killing. Under their attack, more than 4,000 Korean soldiers were beaten back and had no power to fight back.
Yu was anxiously turning around, but the two wings of the Crane Wing Formation could not be moved, and the Chinese army was pushed back again. Maybe it would collapse soon!
But he didn't see that since the cavalry around him was sent out, Wang Jing had been eyeing him.
"Slave thieves! A certain family is here to take your life!" Wang Tingyi shouted.
It turned out that while Yu Jing was paying too much attention to the situation on the battlefield, he had already led his hundred cavalry to bypass the Koreans' sight and insert themselves around Yu Jing from the side.
Yu Jing felt numb all over his body, and his mood turned from anxiety to fear. The generals around him shouted greetings for the infantry without armor to quickly come over and form a formation to stop him.
This is why the infantry cannot protect the commander alone. It is impossible for people to wear armor for a long time. Without armor, the combat effectiveness will be reduced exponentially.
If they were cavalry, they would be on guard outside in a large area, making it impossible for people to get close easily.
At the same time, some people can be immediately separated to intercept, and then some can protect the coach and run to a safe zone.
With their delay, the infantry was fully armored and capable of protecting them.
Wang Tingyi's one hundred cavalrymen were all jealous. This was the one who took the enemy general's head out of ten thousand troops!
Who wouldn't want such credit and majesty? Supported by the surge of adrenaline, each of them fired a large number of arrows as if tirelessly. The unarmored Korean infantry were shot to the ground one after another.
Wang Tingyi and other hussars easily passed through the infantry formation that was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, Yu Jing was being pushed onto the horse by several generals. Before the horse started to run, Wang Tingyi had already arrived. He held a long spear in his hand and accumulated strength for a long time. He hit Yu Jing from behind and his brains exploded!
Wang Zhao was furious in the distance. He had no idea that the battle would turn out like this. He used nearly 20,000 troops to attack the 5,000 or 6,000 people on the other side, but even the general was killed.
Wang Zhao, who didn't know much about military affairs, wanted to order Pu Yinggui and others to lead the cavalry to rush forward to save the battle, but veteran Jiang Gongzhen already knew how powerful it was.
He quickly asked people to protect Wang Zhao and retreat, and at the same time asked the infantry who had already assembled to slowly step forward to respond.
Sure enough, the hussars in Pingdong Town had already killed Yu Jing's cavalry and laid ambush around them. As long as Wang Zhao dared to release the thousands of cavalry around him, they wouldn't mind letting Wang Zhao get a taste of Yu Jing's treatment.
.
Seeing Wang Zhao being escorted by Jiang Gongzhen and retreating to a safe area, Zhang Jianxiong, the Marquis of Duyu, roared, turned around and killed Yu Jing's troops who were on the verge of collapse.
Over there, Jiang Gongzhen personally set up a large Yamen flag on a hillside and ordered the Korean soldiers to move forward slowly and shout loudly to respond.
This veteran is still very capable. He knows that the Beikou people on the opposite side are small and it is impossible to cause a lot of casualties immediately. As long as he slows down the formation here, he can still get most of them back.
Alas, yesterday I was temporarily detained and sent to other places to resolve matters. When I came back, I had to write more than 2,000 words until 12 o'clock. I'm really sorry. I'll slowly write more over the weekend, and I promise not to murmur again later.
